*** There is no true altruism. there is always a self motive, somewhere, otherwise it wouldn’t be done. ***

Would that not equate egoism to altruism? Seems cynical to me.

Not virtue signaling, but recently I was at a pharmacy, and a customer could not afford her insulin. I paid for her script. I felt compassion for her, could afford it so I did.
What would be self motive/ self interest in that?

Did the same at a gas station. Young lady ahead of me had a $4.00 charge denied. She looked like she was on her way to work and was devastated when the clerk told her.

I stepped right up and covered her gas. Told her to pass it on one day when she was able to.
